IRELAND.
O'BRIEN IN JAIL.

DUBLIN, September 12.-Mr. O'Brien
was enthusiastically received by large
crowd on his arrival at Limerick. In an
address he said he never went on journey
which promised better for the cause of
Ireland than the one he was now making.
The government might close his lips, but
there was spirit left in Ireland to day
that all the bayonets at their command
could not silence.
The mayor, members of the municipal
ity and many prominent citizens met
O'Brien at the Cork depot. Two hundred
policemen and strong force of military
escorted O'Brien to the court house, where
formal charge was made against him,
and he was remanded to jail. The streets
were crowded with people. The mayor
implanted to Magistrate Gardiner of the
presence of military and police, which he
said we're not needed, and were calculated
to irritate the populace. The streets
through which O'Brien was taken to jail
were lined with troops. Stones were
thrown at the police escorting O'Brien,
and several of them we're wounded. The
police then charged the crowd, using
batons freely, and injuring many of the
spectators.
BURYING THE VICTIMS.
M1ToHELsTowN, September 12.-Large
crowds of nationalists are arriving from
all surrounding towns to attend the
funeral of the victims to-day. The pro-
cession will be an enormous one. The
police refuse to allow the cortege tC
traverse the regular route to the cemetery
which passes the barracks.
The nationalists consider this a great
indignity, as they will be compelled tC
pass through the protestant part of the
town, and claim that they have right tC
take the usual route, promising to resort
to no violence.
The coffin of the old man shot dead on
Friday, whose name was Lonogan-not
Riordon-is inscribed as follows:
"Michael Lonogan, Murdered Septem-
ber 8, 1887; Requiescat in Peace"
| The funeral begins at p. m. Lon
ogan has three sons in America, and five
children at home. The magistrate prom
ises to keep the police out of sight to-day
if the funeral procession avoids the bar
racks.
